Firefox Shortcuts
Spacebar (page down)
Shift-Spacebar (page up)
Ctrl+K (go to search box)
Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
Ctrl+F (find)

Ctrl+D (bookmark page)

Ctrl-W (close tab)
F5 (reload)
Alt-Home (go to home page)
Go to the address bar (Control-L) and type the name of the site without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say “google”. Then press Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in the “www” and the “.com” and take you there - like magic! For .net addresses, press Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter.
Open a command window executing a command leaving window up
cmd /k commandhere

View Last Reboot Time
net statistics server | more
Open a command window executing a command closing window
cmd /c commandhere
ex: cmd /c ipconfig>C:\ipconfig.txt (saves ipconfig to ipconfig.txt then closes cmd window)
Run a program as another user
runas /user:domain\username appname
ex: runas /user:jeffk cmd.exe
Tip: it’s useful to open a cmd.exe and run all your commands from this cmd.exe as all children will be ran with it’s credentials. Then just goto task manager and right click the cmd.exe and kill the tree so you don’t leave any privledged programs up
Tip2: Since you can’t do a runas on explorer.exe you can run internet explorer with runas credentials and then type the path in like C: in the location bar you then are effectively in a runas of explorer
Note: You must have the Secondary Logon Service on for this to work
Reset a local users Password:
net user USERNAME *
ex: net user jeffk *
Remote Desktop into Console of specific computer
Mstsc /v:computername /console
Ex: mstsc /v:deserver /console
Map a network Drive
Net use drivename: \\server\share
Net use z: \\daserver\music
Force network credentials
Net use \\server\sharename /user:domain\user
Ex: net user \\daserver\music /user:jeffk
Tip: Before using this you may want to issue net use * /d to delete previously stored credentials, or you can view your credentials by just typing net use
Find Current Hostname
In cmd.exe type hostname
Tip:use cmd /k hostname from run

Regjump from sysinternals (jumps you to a specific key in the registry)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/Regjump.mspx
Put regjump.exe in your %windir%\system32 folder…
Start>run regjump keyname
Ex: regjump hklm\software
Environmental Variables (use these at start>run to quickly goto or anywhere in explorer) (Also see This)
Tip: Type set to see your variables
%windir%
%systemdrive%
%appdata%
%userprofile%
%programfiles%
%allusersprofile%
Start>Run>system or Start>Run>system32 {enter} to bring up the corresponding folder
Tip: Sadly some people don’t know that when asked to save you can type in a drive letter or an environmental variable and press enter it’ll take you to that folder/drive then you can specify a filename to save.
Tip2: When Saving a file if you type the filename in quotes it doesn’t matter what you select in the drop down list to save as so put like “blah.cmd” in notepad when saving it and it’ll save it as .cmd not .txt without having to select *.* from the drop down
Tip3: In explorer when saving or opening you can filter them by typing *.extension. For example to view only mp3 files type *.mp3 and press enter
Tip4:
In explorer make sure one icon is selected then just start typing the filename and it’ll take you to it.
Tip5: The icons in the top left of the title bar in explorer are fully functional, so if you right click it you’ll have the same options as if you’d right click the folder up a level.
